PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aziz Karaoglu (ranked 2177 p4p, 1333 weight class) and Zaurbek Temirbekovich (ranked 259 p4p, 168 weight class). I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Zaurbek Temirbekovich was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
